It’s the decision nobody wanted to make; turn back, or press on? One choice inevitably leads to regret and frustration, the other to risk and chance. We stopped and deliberated for nearly an hour. The decision, James decided, was to turn back. What polarizing consequence. What demanding authority. How do you make such a decision and stand by it? Even now I’m waffling at the thought of the opportunity costs emerging. What wasted time; such a squalid situation! Mark is silent. Joey is somber. James is resolute, and I’m still wavering – torn between alternatives with decision parameters that are uncertain. I hate this role. I hate being the one who keeps Mark from attending the funeral.
